My mother in law just gave me this vintage stained glass lamp. She bought it used about 50 years ago. We are in Southern California. I can’t see a makers mark but maybe I can’t see it. It is covered with felt on the bottom. It is relatively petite, about 21” high and 8” across the base, and holds only 2 light bulbs. The finial is more decorative than others I have. The metal is magnetic. My questions are where and when was this made, by whom? Also, what kind of flower is it? A peony? Beyond that, I am seeking your advice on maintenance. It’s been near the ocean the last several years, and I’m concerned about the effects of the salt air on the metal. I posted a closeup photo of the top of the shade. The cap and top of the shade look discolored inside and out (the whitish color). i looked online for cleaning tips, and there are references to lemon oil furniture cleaner. Given the condition of the lamp, do you fellow antiquers have any specific recommendations for cleaning the glass shade, cap and base? I have an excellent lamp repair shop in town that works on vintage lamps, so maybe this is a job for an expert. I’m happy to take more photos. Sorry for the photo on its side. I take photos with my iPhone and iPad the correct way up, but for some reason they post sideways. Thank you, all! [ATTACH=full]291557[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
